LESSON 36

My holiness envelops everything I see.

1 Today's
idea extends the idea for yesterday from the perceiver to the
perceived. You are holy because your mind is part of God's. And
because you are holy, your sight must be holy as well.
"Sinless" means without sin. You cannot be without sin a
little. You are sinless or not. If your mind is part of God's you
must be sinless, or a part of His Mind would be sinful. Your sight is
related to His Holiness, not to your ego, and therefore not to your
body.

2 Four
three-to-five minute practice periods are required for today. Try to
distribute them fairly evenly, and make the shorter applications
frequently, to protect your protection throughout the day. The longer
practice periods should take this form:

3 First, close
your eyes and repeat the idea for today several times, slowly. Then
open your eyes and look quite slowly about you, applying the idea
specifically to whatever you note in your casual survey. Say, for
example:

Several times during these practice
periods, close your eyes and repeat the idea to yourself. Then open
your eyes, and continue as before.

4 For the
shorter exercise periods, close your eyes and repeat the idea; look
about you as you repeat it again; and conclude with one more
repetition with your eyes closed. All applications should, of course,
be made quite slowly, as effortlessly and unhurriedly as
possible.
